Bloke Fined After Mad Monday 'Sneaky Nut' Appears In Newspaper

A footy team's celebration went accidentally viral.

A 22-year-old man has been fined for indecently exposing himself in a photo at a pub in Albury, after the photo made the local paper then went viral.

NSW Police said in a statement that the man received a criminal infringement notice "after he allegedly behaved offensively" at a licensed premises on Wilson Street, Albury, on Monday morning.

"Police have been told the group were asked to pose for a photo, during which it's alleged one of the men, aged 22, indecently exposed himself," police said.

"Yesterday (Tuesday 20 September 2016), officers from Albury Local Area Command were notified and commenced an investigation. Following inquiries, a 22-year-old man was issued a Criminal Infringement Notice for behave in offensive manner in/near public place."
